Google Search AI Image Hider Extension

Tired of AI results in your Google Image searches?

This extension gives you the option to hide or highlight images from websites that are dedicated to hosting AI generated content in your Google Image search results.

There are three modes:
🔴 None: Nothing happens, AI results appear as usual
🟢 Hidden: Removes AI images from search results
🟡 Highlight: Gives AI images a bright yellow border

You can cycle through these three options with the click of a button!

Usage:
1. Install the extension
2. Search something on Google Images
3. Click on the extension icon
4. Press the large button to cycle through the three modes

Disclaimer: It's not 100% accurate

It leverages laylavish's \"Huge AI Blocklist\" to identify dedicated AI image sites, but there may be websites that do this that haven't been added to the list yet.

Additionally, within the extension, \"Nuclear Mode\" includes a stricter list of sites \"that have a lot of AI art/heavily support AI art, but also have some authentic artwork [created by humans]\".

Please feel free to report issues on Github: https://github.com/partone/Google-Image-AI-Zapper
And request new AI sites be added to the blocklist: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
or request/add new sites on

Big shout out to laylavish for the fantastic list!
